Zoom

Getting Started With Zoom For Education

• At its most basic level, video conferencing in education connects remote students to teachers.

• Video Conferencing with students is an excellent way to connect "in person" to bolster their Social Emotional well being.

• Teachers are using it as part of a larger blended learning model where students are learning synchronously and asynchronously.

• On a more exciting level, it also leads students on virtual tours, brings far-away experts on camera for interviews and allows your students to try out their fledgling foreign language skills on their peers from other countries.
